The whole poem consists of six sections (one section for every eight sentences), imitating the tone of a garrison soldier receiving the EU. The first five sections focus on the hardships of life, strong homesickness and the reasons why they can't go home for a long time, revealing that soldiers are willing to defend against the enemy and suffer from expeditions, showing their desire for peace. The sixth section ends the poem with a painful lyric, which is touching. The Book of Songs is the first collection of poems in the literary history of Han Dynasty. It had a far-reaching impact on the development of poetry in later generations and became the source of the realistic tradition of China's classical literature.
Judging from the content of Xiaoya Cai Wei, it was written in the Western Zhou Dynasty, when soldiers were defending their duties and returning their labor. As for the specific creation date of this poem, there are three versions. First, the preface to "Poetry" Mao: "Cai Wei" was also stationed in the army. During the reign of King Wen, there was a plague of Kunyi in the west and an armadillo in the north. On the orders of the son of heaven, he was ordered to send a garrison to China. So I sent away the song "Picking Wei". "On orders from the King of Yin, Xibo ordered his subordinates to be generals, led the garrison to guard the rebellion in Xirong and Beidi, and sang" Cai Wei "and sent them away." It can be seen that picking Wei is a current event. The circumstantial evidence is Yi Xu: "Li, west of Kunyi, north of Armadillo." It has been pointed out: "The Preface to Poetry of Picking Wei is similar to this. "Second, there are Qi poems, Lu poems and Han poems in the Han Dynasty. Different from Mao's poems, the three schools think that picking Wei is a current event, and the circumstantial evidence is The Story of Xiongnu in Hanshu: "During the Zhou Yiwang Dynasty, Rong Di invaded China and dominated the country, and China suffered greatly. At the beginning, the poet sang when he was ill and said,' This is why the room is crowded and the home is crowded.' I don't want to quit every day, so I'm going to die. According to the textual research of bronze inscriptions, Wang Guowei believes that "adopting the European Union" and "driving" are the same as Syria, and "driving" also announces the current affairs of the king. Judging from the bronze inscriptions unearthed at present, all those who remember the embarrassing events declare that the king is a weapon (Selected Notes on China's Literary Works, edited by Yuan Xingpei).
In a word, this poem was written by Zhou Wenwang, Zhou Yiwang and Zhou Xuanwang. Judging from the content of this poem, Wang Wen said it was not desirable. Because from the narrative point of view, it is a question of returning to war, not a question of going to war; From the lyric point of view, there is a sad feeling, no comfort. There is not a word of the emperor in the whole poem. It is groundless to say that Zhou Wenwang's song "Pick the EU" is for Garrison. Therefore, Cui Shu, Yao Jiheng and Fang Yurun, the Confucians in Qing Dynasty, all opposed this statement. When talking about current events in Zhou Yiwang, "there is no clear text in the classics" (analysis of the annotations of Cheng Junying's The Book of Songs, etc. ), and the later publication of Hanshu is based on poetry, which cannot be falsified. It is said that this is a current event in Wang Xuan, which is based on archaeological achievements and is not supported by literature. Chen Zizhan's "The Book of Songs" goes: "Armadillos suffer for a week, and there is still a world." You don't have to insist. Fang Yurun's "Primitive Book of Songs" said: "The generation of poetry cannot be tested. Generally speaking, it is difficult to judge when the garrison will be dispatched, and the scene in the poem is as good as it is now. Why do you think you know? " It can be said that it is right.
